Did you have any trouble with any of the fixes in the help thread? Especially with deleting the gnutella.net file & deleting preferences folder?? Were you able to find the file & folder ok? And after deleting the prefs folder, did you go through LW's setup wizard all over again when you started LW?
Just in case you did have trouble, here's a link to a post with info about how another Vista user found & deleted their gnutella.net file...maybe it'll be easier to do it that way: LimeWire Forums - View Single Post - internet connection missing?

This worked (I have turbo charge connection), but I can't download anything.

What happens when you try to download? Do files show up in the download section below search results?? Or do files show up in the download area but not actually download at all (eg is the download stalled from the beginning)?

If you'd told us that you couldn't delete the gnutella.net file originally (post #3, you said that you'd "done all the suggestions") then you could've saved yourself days of frustration.

It's ok if people have trouble with a fix but they need to tell us... we can't read minds

Thanks for your help. I could find gnutella.net so I figured I didn't have it. This site http://forum.limewire.org/showthread...9401#post19401
help me find the location of gnutella.net

I ended up shutting everything down, restarted my computer and LW and it started downloading. Thanks again
